Visit Martinique > The North
choelcher
The campus of the University of the French West Indies is in this suburb of Fort-de-France.
Case-Pilote
The 17th-century church in Jesuit and rococo style is the oldest on the island.
Bellefontaine
A tiny village hanging onto the cliff's edge. From the Bellefontaine beach you can watch typical fishing scenes. The fishermen here use a special type of net called a "senne."
Morne-Vert
This village not only has a very pleasant climate but also offers a magnificent view of the peaks of Carbet and Mont Pelée.
Le Carbet
There are two spots to visit in this village: the Bally distillery on the outskirts of town and the Gauguin Museum.
Fonds Saint-Denis
Clinging to the slopes of the Carbet, this enchanting little community stretches out along a winding road. Fonds Saint-Denis is dominated by the Morne-des-Cadets, where an observatory on the summit keeps constant watch on volcanic Mont Pelée.
Martinique is called the "Isle of Flowers" so stops at some of its best Caribbean floral gardens can be very memorable experiences.
In the north is Les Ombrages, a botanical path that makes a fine introduction to tropical flora.
Near Trois Ilets is the Parc des Floralies, six acres of peaceful and pretty park land with frequent special horticultural exhibits. In the suburbs north of Fort-de-France is one of Martinique's most beautiful flower gardens, Jardin de Balata. Jean-Philippe Thoze nestled his showcase of more than one thousand species of plants, trees and flowers on the magnificent heights of the capital at the foot of dramatic Pitons du Carbet.
